No we are not being derogatory about someone at the Melbourne Cabaret Festival. This is the tittle of the show, Mediawhore, we are working on with the incredible Isabella Valette!

Do you hate reality television? Perhaps it’s your guilty pleasure?

Meet the most fame hungry narcissist in social media history. April Fools, a young aspiring actress who realises that all her dreams could be fulfilled via the launch pad of reality TV. April is determined to remain famous, whatever the cost!

Between interviews with her super-casual yet cutthroat agent, parasitic journalists and ruthless audition panels, April is forced to delve deeper into what an audience really wants to see.

Valette brings a reworked version of ‘Mediawhore’ (formerly ‘Media Release’) to probe the relentless rise of instant celebrity culture, its stars, the entertainment industry, social media and the effect that all this has on our psyches.
